After the Grand Final, Agüero made a video call with the national team players.
Kun Agüero vibrated from afar with the consecration of the Argentine national team against Italy for the Grand Final. Victory 3-0 at Wembley and a new title for Scaloni’s men, who returns to scream champion when he was not yet a year old in the final against Brazil at Maracana, when he was crowned king of America.
From that unforgettable night in Brazil to the historic one in England, a handful of names changed into the DT call. But among these there is one that stands out above the others: the Kun. In this time frame, the former Independent and Manchester City cardiac arrhythmia was detected and had to anticipate his retirement from football at the age of 33 (he turns 34 on Thursday 3).
After the victory against Azzurra, Messi and company celebrated in the heart of Wembley, on the pitch. De Paul took the goals from the field as a souvenir. And the group threw the Argentine captain into the air, after having allowed himself the pleasure of singing “whoever does not jump is an Englishman” and in front of a crowd of Argentines present in London.

At that moment, Agüero uploaded a story to Instagram with the game’s live account and the last few seconds before the game ends. The most exciting moment of the day was missing.
After having raised the trophy, the same one that Maradona raised almost 30 years ago in the last edition of this intercontinental title, the party of the Albiceleste team continued in the locker room. And the Kun appeared in the distance.
The players made a video call with Kun, then took a photo in which not only the former footballer appears with his mobile phone but also the Copa América that Sergio had the pleasure of winning shortly before having to leave the sport of high competition .
“My brothers, I love you and thank you for sharing this moment with me”, Kun dedicated to the new champions of the Grand Final. Kun didn’t play but lived it as if it were his, and it’s not without reason.
In the previous one, emotion with Benja
Another Agüero was present at Wembley: Benja, son of the former City and Gianinna Maradona. The youngster went out with the Pupi Zanetti in a brief but heartfelt tribute dedicated by UEFA to Diego Maradona, just seconds before the match against Italy began. Alongside the blue, Marco Tardelli took to the field with the nephew of Paolo Rossi, another world football legend who was remembered during the Grand Final.
